With a measured length of 28.52 kilometers without stopping, the record was set during the launch of a new driver development program in Dubai, named as the Nissan 370Z Drift Experience, offering fans an opportunity to learn and perfect the art of drifting.
"With today's accomplishment of setting a new Guinness World Records title, we have proven again the strength of our vehicles,” Samir Cherfan, Managing Director, Nissan Middle East said after the stunt. “The Nissan Z is a very popular car in the drifting scene, and this new record is yet another proof on the ability of this car to make drifting look so easy."
The previous record beaten by Nissan during this attempt, was of 25 kms. The longest vehicle drift is registered on the name of Harald Müller who slid for 144.126 kms. in Turkey this summer. While the fastest drift was set by Jakub Przygonski last year, who drifted for 217 kmph. in Poland.
